Diabetes Diagnosis of Non-gestational Diabetes

The homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) test is a tool used to estimate Insulin resistance from fasting blood Glucose and Insulin concentrations. Insulin resistance is the condition where the body’s cells become less responsive to the effects of Insulin.

Insulin is a hormone that helps move blood sugar (glucose) from your bloodstream into cells. It plays a crucial role in maintaining glucose levels. An insulin-in-blood test is often used to determine the cause of low blood sugar, diagnose or monitor insulin resistance, find a type of pancreas tumor called insulinoma, or identify when a type 2 diabetic might need to start taking insulin to supplement oral medications.
